Mirallas deffo is, can see him going to West Ham for an undisclosed fee

I consider arnie basically Mirallas 2.0 and an upgrade in almost every sense.

Weirdly Mirallas probably has he better goalscoring record.

I knew that someday I was going to die, and I knew that before I died, two things would happen to me. That number one; I would regret my entire life, and number two; that I would want to live my life over again.

Not sure why anyone would sell Jagielka, we thought he was finished in the past but he was great in the end last season, Williams is worse than him but has been great under Allardyce so far, they both need replacing in the long term but that's a job for the summer.

Sandro will go on loan i've basically no doubt.McCarthy SoldBesic loanedMirallas soldBarkley sold

As sort of an aside -- was anyone else irritated last night when Lookman decided to have a wild shot instead of passing to Sandro, who had pulled wide to find space in the box? The game was settled but I still found it annoying. We'll never know if Sandro is any good unless we start getting him the ball in the right areas.

Absolutely. I was annoyed at that.

I like jagielka but he is too old n needs to be playing so I feel he will move on. Mirallas is ok when he wants to be but upsets everyone when he doesn't turn up in matches so get rid. Robles is out of contract in summer so will leave so keeping stek for now makes sense. Schneiderlin is ok but only as a back up to Gana .klaasen can stay 4 now.

Echo article "Everton boss Sam Allardyce reveals behind-closed-doors friendly to give struggling stars a chance" and "Tuesday afternoon saw Everton's fringe players given the chance to impress Sam Allardyce in a behind closed doors game. With the January transfer window looming it was a great chance for those players on the periphery of the first-team".

I appreciate he has a hell of a job trying to assess so many fringe players before the window, but this indoor game is mates against mates and can hardly replicate a proper match. Suppose he has to try something and in the absence of competitive games this is better than nothing. I wonder if Mirallas figured in the game?

At the risk of being compared to a bumbling old character from a much loved BBC sitcom by another poster on here, having played in a number of 'probables v possibiles' matches theses can be quite full bloodied affairs. Every player worth his salt wants to be playing. If the opportunity presents itself in a situation like this they have to take it

Yeah I agree. These are not very friendly especially when you playing for your career.
